Where do atheists get their morality from?
RE: Where do atheists get their morality from?
My favourite name for God is "nonexistent".
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Well that would be Elohim used during Abraham's day I believe....one of my favorite names for God.

There you go then if your argument stands that all morality comes from religion because atheists may occasionally use a phrase that has a religious origin, it also stands that the religion it comes from is one that does not have anything to do with a christian god, so therefore nothing comes from a christian god.

My morality is based entirely on the Non Aggression principal. I do not initiate pain on someone else or take their property. I certainly don;t use some tax to justify me doing just that.

I do everything on the basis of voluntary exchange. I am also a vegan for that reason.

If I ever survive a plane crash in a mountain pass where to survive we are forced to eat each other, I hope to have some vegans on board. Smile

More like tangy chicken though my ancestors replaced human meat with pork. Christians had qualms about us eating people.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

So do slugs, but I would not want one of them in a sandwich. Lets ask an expert.
